Ryan Garcia hit back at Bill Haney on social media after he questioned whether he pulled out of his December 24th exhibition bout against Japanese kickboxer Rukiya Anpo because he couldn’t make the 153lb weight for the fight.
Kingry noted that Bill has been talking about him “non-stop” and wants to let him know when he wants his son, Devin Haney, to “fall again.” Ryan defeated former WBC light welterweight champion Haney on April 20 in front of a crowd of 19,000 fans at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Will Garcia-Haney 2 happen?
Garcia agreeing to give Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) a rematch would likely be music to Beal’s ears, as he seems eager for that fight to take place in 2025 once Ryan’s one-year suspension expires.
Bill wants Ryan to sign up for a drug test before the rematch takes place. There are also the negotiations, which can be a nightmare ordeal. If Bill has decided that Devin should be the A-side in the negotiations, the rematch probably won’t happen.

According to Bill, Devin will take a year off. He’s not saying when he’ll fight next, but it’s likely he’s hoping the Ryan fight could be in the first half of 2025.
If Bill really wants the rematch, it would help if they dropped the lawsuit and made peace with Ryan. He wants to help Devin by beating him again, but that’s not going to work in the current situation.
Garcia is in demand and could make a boatload of dough fighting a rematch with Gervonta Davis, Teofimo Lopez, Jaron Ennis and Shakur Stevenson.
Superstar Garcia withdrew from the exhibition bout due to a wrist injury sustained in training. The match will be rescheduled for a later date.
